Radial Shock Wave Devices Generate Cavitation
BACKGROUND Conflicting reports in the literature have raised the question whether radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) devices and vibrating massage devices have similar energy signatures and, hence, cause similar bioeffects in treated tissues. METHODS AND FINDINGS We used laser fiber optic probe hydrophone (FOPH) measurements, high-speed imaging and x-ray film analysis to compare...
متن کاملShock-wave model of acoustic cavitation.
Shock-wave model of liquid cavitation due to an acoustic wave was developed, showing how the primary energy of an acoustic radiator is absorbed in the cavitation region owing to the formation of spherical shock-waves inside each gas bubble. The model is based on the concept of a hypothetical spatial wave moving through the cavitation region. It permits using the classical system of Rankine-Hugo...
متن کاملShock wave measurements in cloud cavitation
One of the most destructive (and noisy) forms of cavitation is that referred to as “cloud cavitation” because it involves a large collection of bubbles which behave as a coherent whole. The present paper presents the results of an experimental study of the processes of collapse of a cavitation bubble cloud, specifically that generated by an oscillating hydrofoil in a water tunnel. Measurements ...
متن کاملCharacterization and modification of cavitation pattern in shock wave lithotripsy
The temporal and spatial dynamics of cavitation bubble cloud growth and collapse in extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is studied experimentally. The first objective is obtaining reproducible cloud patterns experimentally and comparing them with FDTDcalculations. Second, we describe a method to modify the cavitation pattern by timing two consecutive pressure waves at variable delays. ...
